"This is bound to be a tasty recipe, but it is NOT gumbo. It only fulfills one of three criteria to be a gumbo. It does contain a version of the "trinity" - it contains garlic, onion, and green pepper. This is the least of the three requirements.The other two requirements are that it must contain a roux, which is flour browned in oil or shortening. It must also contain either okra or file' (powdered sassafras leaves). The combination of the roux and either okra or file' create the consistency required to make it a gumbo.

Usually, okra gumbo also contains tomato and file' gumbo does not contain tomato.

From there, the decision of meats and seafood are a matter of choice.

Me, I like to use extra virgin olive oil to brown the roux, parsley as opposed to the green pepper in the trinity and choose from dark meat turkey, smoked sausage, shrimp, oysters, squirrel, and crab for the critters."

"Made this for the first time. I used some shredded chicken instead of the sausage and added a 1/2 cup more of chicken broth and 1/4 cup more of rice. Will make it again and use a bit more chicken broth and a little more hot pepper sauce. All in all, was a good recipe and pretty easy to make."

"Very good, and easy. I used 3/4 pound of beef & cheddar kielbasa (not reduced-fat at all!) and just a few shrimp. My kids wouldn't touch it, but that's their poor taste, not the recipe's fault!"

"I was so surpised at how quickly this dish went together. It's so hearty after a long day. I didn't put the rice in the soup, I used leftover rice, heated it up, scooped about 1/2 c. in a bowl and dished gumbo over it. All my boys loved it. Daddy down to my 2nd grader."
